Advisories
Purpose
The Energenics UV-MAX ULTRA system has been designed to offer direct disinfection
exposure to surface areas. The system design allows for microbial disinfection control.
The Energenics UV-MAX ULTRA device was developed utilizing Ultraviolet Light (UV) for direct
exposure disinfection. The system can disinfect 360 degrees from the system center.
Contents
This manual will serve as your reference guide for installation, operation, and service of your
UV-MAX system.
This manual covers the system/equipment/products listed below:
oUV-MAX ULTRA
Disposal of Mercury Added Lamps
Germicidal ultraviolet lamps, like standard fluorescent lamps contain small amounts of
mercury. Mercury added lamps should not be placed in the trash. Dispose of properly.
For further information regarding the disposal and recycling of lamps containing mercury,
along with Federal and State requirements visit LampRecycle.org.

UV-MAX Safe Operation Procedure
1. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating UV-MAX
ULTRA to limit exposure to UV-C light
2. Place UV-MAX ULTRA in area to betreated
3. Ensure a PIR Sensor (Passive Infrared) is positioned toward the entryway. PIR
sensors operations are explained in the FAQ section at the end of this manual.
4. Connect UV-MAX ULTRA to 120vac plugreceptacle
5. Press Start Cycle on UV-MAX ULTRA control and exit treatment area
6. Adhere to recommended safety precautions to avoid potential injury
Safety
1. You should never look directly at a UV lamp inoperation without wearing approved
safety glasses. Safety glasses should be made of any material other than Quartz or
Teflon.
2. The space should be vacant and closed prior to UV-MAXULTRAoperation
3. Never command the system on when the treatment space is occupied
Safety Observation: It is required for the person(s) responsible
for the installation of this equipment, operators of this equipment, and
operation personnel managers to review and understand this manual.
USE OF LISTED SYSTEM / EQUIPMENT MUST COMPLY WITH
INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.

Safety Guidelines
Long term exposure to ultraviolet light is dangerous. UV-C can produce eye injuries and skin
irritation similar to a sun burn over prolonged exposure. These effects are considered
transient. UV-C may also be carcinogenic but since it has very limited penetrating ability it is
unlikely to cause damage to anything besides the outer layer of skin or other exposed
surfaces.
The UV-MAX ULTRA is designed for zero user exposure to UV-C; however, we will review
safety factors regarding UV-C for better knowledge and understanding.
Protective Clothing and Eyewear
It is not recommended that any personnel be subject to direct UV-C exposure. In the event
such exposure is probable, personnel should wear clothing providing full coverage of exposed
skin and appropriate eye protection.
Polycarbonate safety glasses designed to filter UV and those of the wrap-around type are
recommended.
OSHA Guidelines for Ultraviolet Exposure
OSHA provides technical guidance regarding protecting employees from ultraviolet light with
respect to laser hazards only.
OSHA has two standards that cover employee exposure to radiation: Nonionizing
Radiation (29 CFR 1910.97) and Ionizing Radiation (29 CFR 1910.1096). You may access a
copy of the OSHA radiation standards from their website at http://www.osha.gov.
The non-ionizing radiation standard only covers the radio frequency region, including
microwaves. The ionizing radiation standard covers alpha, beta, gamma, and X-rays;
neutrons; high-speed electrons and protons; and other atomic particles; but does not
include sound or radio waves, or visible, infrared, or ultraviolet light. Therefore, there are
no OSHA-mandated employee exposure limits to ultraviolet radiation.

FAQ (continued)
Q: What is a PIR (Passive Infrared) Sensor?
A: Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some
security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human
body.
Radiation (energy) is invisible to the human eye but can be detected by electronic devices
designed for such a purpose.
The term 'passive' in this instance means the PIR does not emit any energy of any type
but merely sits 'passive' accepting infrared energy through the 'window' in its housing.
An intruder entering the protected area is detected when the infrared energy emitted from
the intruder's body is focused by a Fresnel lens or a mirror segment and overlaps a
section on the chip which had previously been looking at some much cooler part of the
protected area.
That portion of the chip is now much warmer than when the intruder wasn't there.
As the intruder moves, so does the hot spot on the surface of the chip.
This moving hot spot causes the electronics connected to the chip to de-energize the
relay, operating its contacts, thereby activating the detection input on the alarm control
panel.
Q: Is UV-C disinfection strictly line of sight?
A: Yes, it needs to shine on the surface to disinfect. It will not go around objects or
disinfect shadowed areas.
Q: Does UV-C light reflect off surfaces?
A: Yes, it reflects off many surfaces, but loses intensity dramatically if the surface is not
highly polished like the Stainless-Steel center installed on our unit.
Q: Is the UV-C light I can see under the door dangerous?
A: Zero exposure to people is imperative so block it or protect your eyes and skin (please
note: 254nm UV-C wavelength is invisible, what is seen is visible light)

17
FAQ (continued)
Q: Does UV-C light go through glass or windows?
A: Standard window glass blocks almost 100% of UV-C light according to the IUVA.
(Normal glass, as used in a window, is transparent to UV radiation to a wavelength of
about 330 nm (UV-A). The transparency is quite high so almost all UV-A light will pass
through glass. Below 330 nm (UV-B and UV-C), almost 100% is blocked by normal
glass.
Q: Can I use an ATP Meter with the UV MAX
A: Yes, it can be used to measure how clean a surface is
Q: Can I use a response card with the UV MAX?
A: Yes, it can be used to indicate the correct dosage (intensity x
time x distance) has been applied to a surface
Q: What is the difference between bacteria and sporicidal modes?
A: Your UV-MAX Ultra is equipped with two modes of operation, Bacterial and Sporicidal. It is
important for the user to understand the difference between the two. For sporicidal mode, the
time function is doubled. Spores are the more difficult microorganism to target due to the
composition of the cell membrane. In order to be categorized as a spore a rigid protective layer
on the cell membrane must exist. Most common bacteria and viruses do not have this
protective layer or have a layer of less rigid protection like lipids and are much easier to
deactivate using UV-C light. A common example of a sporicidal target is Clostridium difficile, or
C. Diff.
Below is a chart to illustrate ease of deactivation among common organisms.
